Braille e-book Concept

by Johan on April 17, 2009

Normally translating any book into braille would more than double its thickness. So in order to help the blind read more books, designer Seon-Keun Park, Byung-Min Woo, Sun-Hye Woo and Jin-Sun Park tried to solve this problem by creating the Braille e-book concept. Think of it as the braille version of the Kindle. It adopts the EAP technology that can dynamically change the surface pattern by way of an electromagnetic signal to simulate braille text. Let’s hope this actually goes into production. [Yanko]
